Chapter 124
The Wind Demon Wolf has awakened the power of the wind in his body, and even if it is still in the embryonic stage, it is still more than enough to deal with the tree spirit that is only a low-level fierce beast.
The four dryads fell with a bang, turning into a mass of dead ashes. The hissing in the air stopped, and the surroundings returned to dead silence.
Rodlis was still unconscious and did not witness the wolf cub's awakening with the battle with the three dryads.
The bitter cold wind blew through the dark forest of eternal night, and the young wolf finally exhausted all its energy, and with a "whin", he fell limply to the ground.
——
Snow City, Starlight Inn.
Although it was the height of summer, the cicadas that were so common in the south could not be heard. Because Blizzard City is located in the far north of the human world, the city's unstable ice leaves almost no vegetation to survive in the city, except for the crystal-like ice sculptures on both sides of the road.
The inn was brightly lit, and the biting cold wind kept beating against the heavy wooden doors, making a creaking sound.
At the counter sat the fat-headed shopkeeper, who yawned long, tightened his collar a little, and walked to the door to lock it.
He habitually glanced back at the scene inside the inn, only to find that there were still two figures sitting at the wooden table in the corner, and suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, why haven't you two left yet?!"
With an obviously angry expression, the shopkeeper pointed to the pendulum clock on the wall, which happened to pass the number 12, and said impatiently, "Midnight has come, and now that I am closing the door for rest, please leave." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw one of the figures slowly stand up, and appeared in front of the shopkeeper in an instant!
"Boss, sorry for interrupting your time, my friend and I feel very guilty. With a charming smile on his heroic face, Brandon said, "We have urgent matters to attend to, and we will leave here on our own soon." ”
Brandon patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, and at this moment the shopkeeper stared at Brandon's face dumbfounded, with a ghostly expression.
"Good...... Feel free to do whatever you want. He actually found that his voice was trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to stay for a second longer, turned around and walked upstairs tremblingly.
"Haha, Bran, you ought to take a closer look at that fat man's face!" Merlin couldn't help laughing, the warm light of the fire reflecting his pale face a little rosy.
"Merlin, you're still in the mood for a joke. Brandon rolled his eyes in annoyance, walked over to Merlin and sat down.
"We're not in the middle of nowhere, so why relax once in a while?" Merlin pouted, disagreeing with the other man's statement.
Brandon didn't intend to argue with the magician about this, and said, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. But Merlin, are you really sure you want to do that?"
"What do you mean?" Merlin immediately put away his joking gesture and his tone became serious.
Brandon frowned, and said, "The lonely land is the realm where dragons live, humans have always been unwelcome, and the environment is extremely harsh, you should know this better than me. ”
Merlin nodded, and he looked at the dark brown lines on the wooden table, lost in thought.
Brandon was right, the solitary land was not only a dragon-infested area, but the vast desert made humans dare not set foot in it. Even the powerhouses who stepped into the Sanctuary looked small and powerless in front of the dragon.
Dragons are historic creatures at the top of the food chain, and their innate dragon magic is far superior to that of humans. The scales on the dragon's body are indestructible and have excellent physical protection.
At the same time, blessed by the ancient dragon gods, dragons possess innate magic resistance, which is enough to withstand the damage of most low-level magic.
The dragon is synonymous with evil and demons, and there are a few pagans who see it as a symbol of power and sanctity.
The dragon has the body of a lion, two wings that resemble the wings of a bat, and a head that resembles a warhorse. The dragon has a lizard-like tail with sharp barbs at the end.
The dragon's razor-sharp claws were its most primitive yet deadly weapon, no less rigid than the steel produced in Wally County.
Dragon Flame - A terrifying force that can transform all living things, and the dragon's last killer weapon.
Unlike the usual fire-based magic, dragon flames are as pure as the power of a god's faith! unimaginably high temperatures are extremely corrosive, and can wipe out even unsightly enemies in an instant.
The firewood in the fireplace was running out, and the temperature in the air was gradually cooling. Merlin slowly raised his head, looked directly into Brandon's blue eyes, and said, "Bran, now we have no other choice. ”
Brandon's expression darkened when he heard this, and he understood what the other party was referring to.
"It's been a month since that incident, and Diana is still unconscious. Brandon couldn't help but clench his fists when he said this, and said angrily: "That bastard Ruixiu!
Merlin pursed his lips and said helplessly: "You and I both know Ruixiu's character, but Caesar thinks highly of him." ”
"Hmph!" Brandon sneered, "Caesar is no longer the benevolent ruler he used to be, and I don't need to work for him anymore. ”
Merlin waved his hand, deciding not to dwell on the issue anymore, and said, "When are we leaving?"
"Let's go now, Edward told us to get back to Grande within a week. Brandon reminded as he got up.
"Good. Merlin casually agreed, leaving a few gold coins on the table.
——
The deep night sky is dotted with stars, and the mountains in the east are gradually revealing a gray shimmer. Brandon and Merlin had reached the end of the North, the cold winds of winter raging everything as far as the eye could see.
The two of them stood like this, as if they were still hesitating. In front of me is an endless desert, full of undercurrents made of sand and dust, and the wild sand is like a huge curtain, perfectly hiding the original appearance of the lonely land. Behind him is the dividing line between the north and the lonely land, an ancient city wall that stretches for tens of thousands of miles.
The ancient city walls are not very high, less than five meters by sight, and do not serve an actual defensive role. However, its wide aisles were large enough for ten soldiers to pass side by side.
There are high platforms every 100 meters on the Great Wall, which can not only be used to store food and ordnance, but also to ignite special magic fuel in the event of alien invasions, red light can warn nearby soldiers, and the watchtower of Snowstorm City can clearly see the signal from the Great Wall.
As we all know, the walls of Wind and Snow City are made of ice that will not melt for thousands of years, and it is said that it is the work of the ancient gods when they passed through this place.
